Chapter 103: Severely damaged

One hundred and three chapters are badly damaged

"Alan, where can I buy spare parts, my boat needs to be repaired. Xia Fei asked.

Alan raised his hand and pointed to the huge spotlight outside the window, the inside of the xunshi was pitch black, and the oversized spotlight was like an artificial sun that separated day from night.

"It's going to get dark, there's a rule in the Redstone base, everyone must go back to their homes after dark, don't wander outside, and if you want to buy the equipment you need, you have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest." Alan said.

"Curfew?" Xia Fei asked curiously, "Isn't this a free port?" How can there still be a curfew? ”

Alan smiled, "Freedom? There's no real freedom anywhere, and the reason why Redstone Base is called Freeport is because anyone can come here to do business, even if it's a prisoner, a pirate, or a junkie. ”

"But this doesn't mean that the base is not restrained, the people of the Ning family here are the rules, anyone who does not obey their control will be punished, recently the Ning family and a group of pirates called owls have had a very unpleasant relationship, the base has died more than a dozen lives in a row, so the people of the Ning family will patrol every night, and they are also very strict with strangers."

Xia Fei nodded, "More than a dozen people died one after another, but I think the atmosphere on the street is normal, people still work and eat the same, and no one seems nervous." ”

"Don't be stupid." Alan patted Xia Fei on the shoulder, "The people who live in the redstone base are not good, a few people die is nothing at all, only the people of the Ning family are nervous, because it is their bodyguards and mercenaries who die." ”

Xia Fei and Alan chatted for a while, and from the conversation, Xia Fei learned that there were almost 30,000 people living in the Redstone base, of which only 10,000 were long-term residents, and the rest were all passing merchants and wandering women, wanted criminals and the like.

The vast wilderness star field does not even have a planet suitable for human survival, and some are just artificial living spaces similar to the redstone base.

The redstone base can only be regarded as a medium-sized base in the Wilderness Star Field, and some large bases even have more than 100,000 people, and the personnel composition is extremely complex.

There was no trade between the Human Alliance and the Zerg, so the Wilderness Star Field, which connected the two major forces of the universe, became an active stage for merchants, who sold the food, textiles, coffee, and wine produced by humans to the Zerg, and bought a large amount of ore from the Zerg and shipped it back to the Human Alliance, which made a lot of money.

The Zerg control the output of most of the Elven Hearts and Crystal Nucleus Ore in the universe, and on the Zerg side, just a bottle of good wine can be exchanged for almost a gram of Elven Heart, but transporting a gram of ore back to the Human Alliance can be sold for tens of thousands of Star Coins, which is a profit of hundreds of times.

Most of the bugs don't consume coffee and alcohol, and these savage creatures are no different from animals, but there are also some high-level bugs living in the Zerg, these bugs have similar behavior and habits as humans, they are addicted to alcohol, and live a luxurious and desolate life.

Although this illegal border trade can be called a windfall profit, it also contains huge risks, and the Wilderness Star Field, as its name suggests, is desolate, barbaric, and the sea of stars is unpredictable.

Things like sudden interruptions in communication signals, inexplicable disappearances of ships, and robberies by pirates are all too common in the eyes of the locals, but in fact it is impossible to count how many ships die in the stars every year, because there are so many.

Merchants have the nature of chasing profits, every year there will be a large number of Terran and Zerg merchants risk their lives to come here to do business, the myth of getting rich overnight happens every day, but people don't know that getting rich overnight is always just the patent of a few people, and every businessman who gets rich does not know how many losers are hidden behind it.

After a few moments, the huge spotlight finally went out, and Alan beckoned Xia Fei and Sarah to the living room for dinner.

Alan took out a few old ceramic dinner plates, which were carefully hidden in the depths of the cupboard, covered with dust, and it was clear that Alan was very fond of these porcelain, and rarely used them on weekdays.

"Eat this again? Didn't you just make a lot of money from Xia Fei? When can we buy some real vegetables and eggs, I now have the smell of turquoise grass all over my mouth. Sarah grabbed a handful of pudding from the basin with one hand and put it into her mouth, grumbling dissatisfiedly.

Alan stretched out Sarah's arm, but unfortunately he didn't move as fast as Sarah, and she escaped.

"What does it look like? We have guests here today, can't you behave properly? Alan said with a sigh.

"Guest." Sarah swallowed a mouthful of pudding and waved her hand at old Allen, "You said at noon today that you were going to slaughter Xia Fei fiercely, how could he become a guest again at this time." ”

Old Alan was a little embarrassed, pouted and said: "Business is business, doing business with us is a guest, I haven't asked you yet, why is the fruit you gave me less than ten white dew?" ”

Sarah shrugged her shoulders, "That's my salary, of course I have to deduct it first." ”

Old Alan shook his head heavily, "You kid. ”

Xia Fei smiled slightly, and took out a few pieces of chocolate, a few boxes of canned beef, a large bag of plums, and a bottle of wine from the space ring.

Sarah once asked Xia Fei to hide the ring, but Xia Fei felt that it was inconvenient to do so, so he just brought the side inlaid with the space stone in reverse, so that it would become an ordinary ring from the outside, unless someone opened Xia Fei's palm, otherwise no one would find it.

"Chocolate," Sarah said in surprise, tearing open the package a few times and filling a large piece of chocolate into her mouth, excited like a child.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, I still have it here." Xia Fei said with a smile.

A girl like Sarah is the most easily satisfied, and a few chocolates will make her happy to heaven, and if this is a girl who grew up in the city, she would frown and say, "Sorry, I'm losing weight and only eating one apple a day." ”

Without a car or a house ticket, you want them to be satisfied, and even if you do, they will think that this is what you should do, and they will never be full of gratitude.

After eating a piece of chocolate, Sarah licked her lips in satisfaction, and quietly put the remaining pieces in her pocket to eat later.

Alan took out two glasses, poured wine, put them in front of his nose and sniffed them, craned his neck and drank them all.

"Well, it's good wine." Old Allen's greedy aftertaste.

......

Early in the morning, Xia Fei and Sarah walked side by side on the streets of the Redstone base.

They first came to the dock to inspect the damage to Xia Fei's Lunar Eclipse, the loss of the ship's interior Xia Fei was already clear, and now they had to figure out the condition of the armor and external components.

The once spirited Eclipse is now desolate and broken, from a young eagle soaring with wings to a chicken drenched in heavy rain.

Put, Sarah wiped a handful of sweat with her sleeve and said: "This battle must be very cruel, and it is already a miracle that your ship can hold out." ”

Xia Fei nodded, a frigate and a destroyer bombarded side by side, it was a crazy act at all, and the consequences were of course serious.

"I'm going to help transport some slaves in the morning, and I'll be back before lunch." Sarah said.

Xia Fei was a little curious, "Slave? ”

Sarah said indifferently: "Those bug nobles like beautiful girls and young men of humans very much, and a slave transported from here to the area controlled by the Zerg can be exchanged for ten grams of elven hearts, which is very profitable." ”

Xia Fei didn't say anything, you can imagine the scene of those traffickers collecting those boys and girls from all over the alliance and selling them in cages like animals.

In fact, there is also a slave trade on some of the wild planets within the Alliance, and although the humans living in the universe have formed a powerful alliance society, they are far from each other.

Human beings have always been a chaotic race, with countless religions, cultures, and customs mixed together, and they all seem to have two eyes and one mouth, but behind each pair of eyes is so different.

Sarah has lived in the Wilderness Star Domain since she was a child, everything here is normal in her opinion, there is no difference between justice and evil, whoever has a hard fist is the boss, this is the only law in the Wilderness Star Field.

"I'll lock this door so no one will disturb you, and I'll pick you up at noon." Sarah said as she walked out.

Xia Fei took out a box of canned peaches from the ring and threw it to her, "Save it for the road to eat." ”

"Fruit" Sarah held the can in her arms and was overjoyed, turned around and smiled sweetly at Xia Fei and ran out.

Chinese have been emphasizing the exchange of gifts since ancient times, and Xia Fei found that gift-giving is a tried and tested trick even in the cosmic society.

Money, women, violence, these are the three deadly weapons in the universe, anyone who grasps these three deadly weapons can be mixed up like a fish in water no matter where they are, and it has been proven that these methods will always work wherever there are people.

Xia Fei took the damage list provided by the battleship's self-inspection system in his hand and inspected the Lunar Eclipse from the inside out.

The intelligent self-inspection system is very advanced, and the inspection report rarely makes mistakes, but Xia Fei always feels that he needs to check it in person to be able to rest assured, after all, this is a warship sailing in space, not a flat boat on an artificial lake.

Sailing in the sea of stars full of dangers, Xia Fei must ensure that he knows his warship well, and every screw cannot deviate.

When it was close to noon, Xia Fei got a long list of repairs, the list was sixteen pages long, the top four pages were the parts that had to be replaced immediately, and the following ones could be repaired after he went back.

Xia Fei sat on the ground and smoked a few cigarettes, and when she snuffed out the fifth cigarette butt, Sarah opened the warehouse and walked in.

"How? Can your ship be repaired? Sarah asked cheerfully, it seems that she is in a good mood today, and her work is quite smooth.

There was a hint of yellow on the corner of Sarah's mouth, Xia Fei knew that it was a drop of canned peach juice, she was like a little wild cat who had never eaten a big meal, and a box of canned peaches for three yuan and five cents could satisfy her for a while.

Using his sleeve to wipe the peach juice from the corner of Sarah's mouth, Xia Fei handed her the sixteen-page list.

"Oh my God," Sarah exclaimed.

Xia Fei shook his head, "Not all of them are needed, as long as you have the things on the first four pages, you can fly back." ”

Sarah frowned, "The Wilderness Star Domain is not as good as where you live, I guess it's very difficult to find the first four pages, so I can only go to the ancient battlefield to salvage it myself." ”
